Some stories stir curiosity, and then there are stories that awaken something deep within the reader, a recognition of the unseen forces that shape our world. Bigger by Anthony Gifford is one such work, a visionary novel that begins in quiet reflection and evolves into a profound spiritual and existential awakening. It is not merely a story; it is an exploration of the invisible threads between faith, science, and human potential.

Anthony Gifford, an octogenarian writer and theologian, begins his journey in stillness, an 82-year-old man wrestling with questions of purpose and impact. The world feels dim, his energy low, his writing forgotten. Yet from this quiet despair emerges a moment that redefines everything: a meteor-like object falls from the sky, landing on his quiet Kingston street. What begins as a simple curiosity soon transforms into a life-altering encounter, as the rock seems to hold more than matter; it holds meaning, vitality, and a strange form of consciousness.

From that instant, Anthony’s life becomes a sequence of revelations. His health returns, his senses heighten, and an inner light begins to guide him toward others who need healing. What follows is not the spectacle of a miracle worker, but the introspection of a man realizing that healing, true healing, requires humility, compassion, and shared humanity. Through quiet moments of contact, Gifford discovers the unspoken bond that connects all life, one that transcends religion and logic alike.

As the story unfolds, Bigger expands beyond the personal to the universal. Gifford’s encounters blur the boundary between the physical and the divine, forcing readers to confront the question: what if the extraordinary has always been within us, waiting to be recognized? The book’s brilliance lies not only in its imaginative scope but in its honesty, its portrayal of an aging man who rediscovers purpose through surrender, service, and wonder.

In Bigger, Anthony Gifford does not preach. He invites. He invites readers to rethink the very definition of miracle and to see that awakening is not found in the skies above but in the human heart. The novel is both a meditation and a revelation, a reminder that sometimes the most supernatural thing of all is belief itself.
